By Andrea Stone - AOL News
WASHINGTON (Oct. 16) -- Partisans on both the left and the right are "too easily driven to calling each other racists," says Condoleezza Rice, the highest-ranking black woman in U.S. history.

By Deborah Hastings - AOL News(Sept. 7) -- Condoleezza Rice shouted on the phone at President George W.

Condi Rice: America Will Thank George W. Bush
By David Knowles - Politics DailyIn an interview with CBS's "Sunday Morning," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice attempted to put her spin on the legacy of her boss, George W. Bush. Not surprisingly, she argues that, while a record percentage of Americans currently disapprove of the job that the president has done, in the long run, the country will come to recognize Bush as a competent, effective leader:"This isn't a popularity contest. I'm sorry, it isn't. What the administration is responsible to do is to make good choices about Americans' interests and values in the long run--not for today's headlines, but for history's ...
